Research

We conduct research and publish reports that help to establish a full awareness of the emerging needs of asylum seekers and refugees in Wales. They aim to highlight client experiences and are an integral part of our organisation.
In many cases our research has influenced behaviour within service delivery and government initiatives.
In this section you can find all our reports on key issues relating to our service users together with research we have conducted in collaboration with our partners and stakeholders

As part of Hate Crime Awareness Week, October 08th – 15th, 2016, we are pleased to introduce a new booklet about reporting Hate Crime in Wales.
The booklet is a guide to understanding hate crimes and incidents in Wales, how to report it and what people can do to prevent it from happening to someone else. Thanks to the support of the Welsh Government, the leaflet was created in collaboration with Victim Support, Gwent Police, The British Red Cross and the Sanctuary Project in Newport.
Special thanks to the asylum seekers and refugees from Oasis Cardiff, Trinity Centre and the Welsh Refugee Council who contributed by providing insights from their experiences of hate crimes in Wales.

Read the Welsh Refugee Council's insert, Higher Education and Voluntary Sector collaboration for ESOL Provision on page 32. The essay provides insights into the way educational organisations are uniquely placed to enact a crucial role in the cultural and linguistic integration of forced migrants in the United Kingdom.
“If you could do one thing…” is a series of essays of local actions to promote social integration developed by the British Academy for humanities and social science that examines successful integration projects in the UK.

For over 25 years, we have been speaking out on behalf of those who are fleeing persecution, conflict and oppression. We empower asylum seekers and refugees to build new futures in Wales and help create a society where respect and equality for all are paramount.
